The main objective of the variable damper controlled vehicle suspension system is to reduce the discomfort identified by passengers which arises from road roughness and to increase the ride handling related with the rolling, pitching and heave movements. This imposes a very fast and accurate variable damper to meet as much control objectives, as possible. The method of the proposed damper is to reduce the vibrations on each corner of vehicle by providing control forces to suspension system while travelling on uneven road. Numerical simulations on a full vehicle suspension model are performed in the Matlab Simulink toolboxes to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The obtained results show that the proposed system provides better results than the conventional suspension system.
